I set it to CC-BY for the picture because it generated a better image than PD. In the meantime, one of my edits + thingiverse dicking around with stuff must have reset it back to CC-BY. It's fixed now, set to PD as it's supposed to be.

Instructions

Thingitag is now integrated into thingiverse. You can get it by clicking the "print tag" button below the license statement on any Thing page. No more dealing with cross-browser scripting headaches and rewriting every time the thingiverse design is tweaked!

Old instructions:

Navigate to the page for the Thing you want to tag, then run the script. It will grab the relevant data and format it for tag printing. I haven't done extensive testing, but it should work in all standards-compliant browsers (old versions of IE might have a problem).

Print the tag, cut it out and fold it over. Fold the end over into a triangle (for strength), then punch a hole and attach with string to the printed thing.

Note: Thingiverse won't let me post a javascript link (this would be a security issue), and the text gets a little mangled if I post it here. To get the script, download the .js file, copy the contents and paste it into your address bar or create a bookmark using the full script as the URL.

The question of Infringement I think is further complicated because how is it determined who is infringing who?

What I mean is that a 3D model that is based on an existing work of art may have more complications determining who infringed on who. If the 3D model is a unique and sole creation of the 3D modeler/artist then that artist has the Copyright and others infringe on that person.

On the other hand if a 3D model (3D printable) is based on another 3D or 2D work of art with changes only to the way it is made (replica or likeness) then who is infringed on when copies of the 3D printable items are made?

IMO 3D printable items that show "likeness" (likeness = original work of art can be identified) of another work of art infringes on the original; that is if the original is copyright protected.

Replicas are straightforward but what copyright protections can be assigned to works that show likeness to an original? Are these these "like" items unique and a work of art by themselves?

I agree, or instead of printing one tag for every print that you create of the same item then using this 3D printed QR code can serve as a Stamp to quickly put the tag on the multiple of the same items. For a stamp the image will have to be mirrored before printing... Just an idea.

Many of the models here are released under the Creative Common's 'Attribution' license. Which means, if you print it, and give the print to somebody else, the license says you are to attribute the print to the original creator.

Is this still working? I would love to use it, but I can't get it to do anything. I have tried on 5 different browsers on several operating systems; but the bookmarklet just does nothing. Is it saving it somewhere? What am I missing?
